Historic shopping area to get funding boost

The Shambles in Chesterfield, one of the town's most historic shopping areas, is set to receive a funding boost to facilitate improvements. Simultaneously, the PM has announced that English mayors will be granted new powers and increased funding to stimulate regional growth. This strategic move is designed to ensure that local leaders no longer need to approach Whitehall for financial support, thereby empowering regional governance and enhancing local infrastructure across various English districts.
